Photorealistic documentary photos of European Homo sapiens during the Upper Paleolithic; circa 15, 000 BCE. Featuring both males and females, depicted in their natural environment. The scene shows them engaged in various daily activities happening in their community. Their dominant lifestyle is hunter- gatherers. They live in small, mobile groups, relying on hunting wild animals and gathering wild plants for sustenance. They are adept at utilizing seasonal resources and often move between different environments to exploit these resources. They create cave art and often depict animals. They make sophisticated stone tools using techniques like pressure flaking. They also use bone, antler, and ivory for tools and ornaments. The tools are often highly specialized, including harpoons, needles, and spear throwers (atlatls). The climate was transitioning from the Last Glacial Maximum (when ice sheets were at their peak) to warmer conditions. This transition has a profound impact on their societies, as it alters the landscapes and the distribution of animal and plant resources. While still primarily nomadic, some groups are to establishing more permanent or semi- permanent settlements, especially in resource- rich areas
